Meet Dalek Panther
Saturday 17th, Sunday 18th and Monday 19th
West Cliff
Two of Dalek Panther’s Missions are:
To meet as many people as possible and collect images of himself with them
This is so the Daleks can analyse our faces and appearance and attempt to understand who these strange humans are that they are to conquer. They are very puzzled by us getting together with ’aliens’ at Sci-Fi conventions and taking our photographs with them.We believe that maybe the Selfie and facebook® were developed specifically to aid this image collection process.
To empty the earthlings pockets of their worldly goods (money) and pass it to charities.
